Excerpt from Judge Haliburton's Yankee Stories With IllustrationsI, that there is a court sitting at this time at Cumberland. 7 Nor am I, said my friend. -what then coaid he have to do with the circuit. 7 It occiirred to me he must be a Methodist preacher. I looked again, but his appearance again puzzled me. His attire might do-the colour might be suitable - the broad brim not o1it of place but there was a want of that staidness of look, that seriousness of countenance, that expression, in short, so cha racteristic of the clergy. I could not account for my idle curiosity - a curiosity which, in him, I had the moment before viewed both with sus picion and disgiist; but so it was - I felt a desire to know who he could be, who was neither lawyer nor preacher, and yet talked of his circuit with the gravity of both. How ridiculous, I thought to myself, is this; I will leave him. Turning toward him, I said, I feared I should be late for breakfast, and must therefore bid him good morning. Mohawk felt the pressure of my knees, and away we went at a slapping pace. I con gratulated m'ys'elf on conquering my own curiosity, and on avoiding that of my travelling compamon. This, I_ said to myself, is the value of a good horse; I patted his neck - I felt proud of him. Presently I heard the steps of the unknown' 3 horse - the clatter increased. Ah, my friend, thoughtl, it won 't' do you should be well mounted if you desire my company I pushed Mohawk faster, faster, faster - to his best. He out did himself, he had never trotted so handsomely - Se easily - so well.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Judge Haliburton's Yankee Stories: With Illustrations I was always well mounted: I am fond of a horse, and always piqued myself on having the fastest trotter in the Province. I have made no great progress in the world; I feel doubly, therefore, the pleasure of not being surpassed on the road. I never feel so well or so cheerful as on horseback, for there is something exhilarating in quick mo tion; and, old as I am, I feel a pleasure in making any per son whom I meet ou the way put his horse to the full gallop, to keep pace with my trotter. 'poor Ethiopel you recollect him, how he was wont to lay back his ears on his arched neck, and push away from all competition. He is done, poor fellow! The'spavin spoiled his speed, and he now roams at large upon my farm at Truro.' Mohawk never failed me till this summer.
